Hello there fellow Guardians. I wanted to list out possible ideas for some types of Exotic gear that many people feel underwhelming. I do understand that the term "Exotic" does not specifically mean "best" or "better"; simply that it's different. The problem is, we may only hold one piece of it, and some Exotics outshine others. I will be compiling a list of Exotics from each class, explaining their use, and finally giving my analysis on what can be changed. [b]Hunters[/b] [b]Young Ahamkara's Spine[/b]: "Give me your arm, oh bearer mine. Let me help you fill the world with teeth." Improved Tripmine Grenade: Tripmine grenades last longer when placed. Uses: Using these gauntlets, their badass factor is off the charts without a doubt. Their actual effectiveness.... varies from the situation. I would deem these particular gauntlets better for the PVP experience. You're not really required to wait 30 seconds to kill a mob of enemies with a Tripmine. The base 10 seconds is more than enough to make use of; especially since you'll most likely be throwing it directly behind them, or literally onto them. (Most likely resulting in your death) PVP is a different story... we, as humans can be unpredictable. Sometimes we're here, sometimes we're there... sometimes 25 seconds later you realize you got a kill from that Tripmine you placed earlier on. With the increased duration, as long as the enemy doesn't see it first, you can easily get kills just by leaving it in an area; say... Heavy ammo spawn. They're also fairly fun to use. Changes: One good change i've heard that would work fairly well would be to simply be able to hold a second Tripmine. Keeping the 30 second duration as well of course. Very similar to the Warlocks Starfire Protocol chest. This would give those Achlyophage players (maybe) the Spine a chance again. The second grenade would be a first for Hunters, and would most likely be welcomed. [b]ATS/Arachnid[/b]: "Advanced tactical sensorium. Induced hallucinations integrate broad-spectrum targeting data." Arachnid Sensorium: Your Golden Gun Zooms in for accuracy when aimed. Uses: You can somewhat snipe with it. That's about it. In all seriousness though, it's main feature isn't specifically bad... it just needs a little "oomf" to make it useable in most situations. In PVE, it's hardly needed. Strikes usually keep you fairly close in, and the added accuracy is redundant. If you REALLY want to keep your distance though, I suppose they could work. Not ideal though. PVP... I suppose. On a map like Skyshock it could work. And Combined Arms. Any other map will literally make you miss. Changes: This helmet is in considerable need for a little... "something". Achlyophage eats it for breakfast with that 4th shot compared to a buff to accuracy. I came up with this during a Hard mode CE run on the Crota checkpoint. What if we added that it does critical damage? Maybe the farther you are (to an extent of course) the more dmg the critical does. This would not be overpowered considering at the most Golden Gun is a "decent" mob clearer. This would make it an absolute beast killing full bar Tier two enemies and doing decent damage to bosses. It's already one-shot in pvp, so it will be rather irrelevant there. Well, that's about it for Hunters! I would have added the Dance Machines, but they seemed too inclined towards the pvp sides of things, and work fairly well there. (Mida Multi-Tool) I will most likely make a part 2, but honestly i'm pretty lazy about this stuff. I only decided to post because the feedback I was seeing was... "get rid of Xur blah blah i'm bored blah" to everyone else, keep up the good work! If our Feedback is actually reasonable and organized, they're bound to see, and consider our suggestions. Edit: So... I posted this in Feedback originally. Since Destiny is primarily where the hub-bub is though, I copy/pasted this here in hopes of more people seeing this. I'll have to hope it doesn't get swallowed by all the Red Death/Xur posts. And the random posts in general....
